I'm about to purchase some 27 inches tires for my 1982 Fuji Supreme. I was hoping to use it as a summer commuter. Which means it would probably see as much as 2000 miles a year.

Do you think the 25-year old Fuji rims would last very long at this clip?

OTOH, I was riding this afternoon and met a guy with 1970s Schwinn Sports Tourer (weird... no lugs...). He was the original owner and told me that he'd never replaced the alloy rims.
